Jesus Christ. You're all off your rockers, from Clinton and Sanders to Trump and Cruz. Congratulations to all who voted in today's primary and further propagated a corrupt political system that will result in more widespread oppression, cronyism and tyranny for innocent, hard-working, middle-class citizens like myself.

Isn't using the term "middle class" an implicit endorsement of that system?

Boy I wish I hadn't clicked on this thread. It's like when you see family members you like get drunk at Thanksgiving, and you can't unhear their political rhetoric.

Thank you, New York. You put your faith in me 16 years ago and again tonight. I'll never stop fighting for you.

Thanks to New York tonight!!!!!!
Now it's time for everyone to work together!
(So BS went home to VT to "wind down" without a concession speech.) Come Together? Right Now...

Thank you New Yorkers for coming through for the rest of the nation. Up next on 4/26 are primaries in RI, CT, DE, PA, and my state of Maryland with its 95 pledged delegates (+23 super delegates) that will most likely mirror the NY delegation. Well done Team Clinton and Team Trump.

Well done, Hills!
I know I could look this up, but I'm gonna be lazy. Are any of the upcoming April Dem primaries open or are they all closed? If it's the latter, I think we know it's going to be April showers for Bernie.

HorseTears, on April 26, Connecticut (56 delegates), Delaware (21), Maryland (96), and Pennsylvania (189) hold closed primaries; Rhode Island (24) is semi-closed.
That's it for April.
Posted: 4/20/16 at 12:28am
I know Maryland is closed primary and I'm almost positive the other 4 are too. I haven't verified it HT but I think that's correct.

Donald Trump's stump speech: "I'm going to bring jobs back to state x. I've built several magnificent buildings in your state and have lots of wonderful friends all over. We're going to make America great again. Trust me, it's going to be beautiful".

So now it's time for Bernie to figure out how to wind this down gracefully. He needed a big win, and was handed a crushing loss. Worse, his campaign was raising expectations instead of managing them, claiming that their internal polling gave them a chance. Hard to see him shutting this down before next Tuesday, but it needs to be soon after that.
By the way, exit polls showed 80% of Dems < 30 said they'd support HRC. That's a good number to build on.

I woke up to a FB news feed clotted with conspiracy theory-driven bitterness and sour vows of reprisal and ultimate comeuppance; every poster's (and American's) right. But it's discomfiting to feel the rancor.

I think it's telling that Hillary won nearly twice as many popular votes as Trump in the state of NY. A few pundits have tried to discount her accomplishment by reminding viewers that both primary polls were closed. Nevertheless, the indies wouldn't have made that much of a difference in NY yesterday. I'm anxious to see how both Hillary and Trump fare in PA. I also wish both parties would truncate the primary season. It's arguably too long and drawn out and expensive currently. By now out thoughts should be on general election races up-and-down ballot.

I have to credit my most ardent Bernie Bro friend on Facebook, who conceded the nomination to HRC this morning and pledged his support for her.
Posted: 4/20/16 at 7:55am
That's the spirit.

Many of Bernie's supporters will need time to come around. Best not to berate those who do.
Posted: 4/20/16 at 8:10am
Just as we did for Barack, eight years ago. It's what we do.
Posted: 4/20/16 at 8:43am
While it will be very helpful for Sanders to do the right thing, Elizabeth Warren will most likely be the one to really rally the left wing.

Meanwhile, it it comes to Trump vs. Hillary:

VOX.COM: This is a terrifying chart for Republicans. Donald Trump looks increasingly likely to be the Republican nominee. Hillary Clinton looks increasingly likely to be the Democratic nominee. And Hillary Clinton looks increasingly likely to stomp Trump in a general election:
